Whether or not a library interface is standardized is irrelevent.
... or just buy Dinkumware's implementation of TR2 . TR2 *is* a standard, although spearate one from ISO 14882.
The question is who own's the implementation. Apparently the developer's word that he created it isn't enough for these lawyers - in spite of the fact that they have no evidence to the contrary - after all the developer COULD be lying. Realistically, this situation isn't about the facts - its about someone having authority beyond his expertise. Its a political issue not a technical one. Boost and its developers can only do so much. BTW - as for second opinions - maybe your boss can inquire to Adobe as to where it gets it legal advice. That might provide an authoritative source. Robert Ramey
